Making
I’m going crazy! Or at least I’m attempting it. I’m super excited about having completed my very first crazy quilt block. I’m still going to want to pick up some embroidery floss and do some detail stitching… unless of course any of my wonderful friends have any extra they would like to get rid of. …

I’ve submitted another design to Threadless. I have titled this particular design “She Walks in Beauty.” The artwork, which I created last year, was inspired by the Lord Byron poem. SHE walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that’s best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect…

Well… it’s that odd time of year again. You know, after you take the Christmas decorations down, but before you want to do any Valentine’s Day decorating. What’s a girl to do? Winter Decor! But what does that mean? When I think of winter colors I think of one of two things. Either pale blue…

It’s that time of year again, the ground has started turning white, the roads are covered in slush and people are ringing bells at all the local stores. That means it’s time to decorate for Christmas — well, almost. Matt & I are getting a real tree again this year, and we are going to…

Dear Jane, I fell in love with your quilt the first time I saw it… of course, I would never make one. I haven’t the patience to make 225 of those 4.5 inch squares. But I do love your quilt. Of course, I’ve always loved “scrappy” quilts made with remnants of past projects. That’s probably…

I’ve started working on my quilt again. Yes, it’s been a while, but thanks to the wonderful ladies down at SewTech in Evansville, I now have the correct kind of bobbin for my machine and can adjust my own bobbin tension. Apparently it’s not forbidden to do that after all. But, back to my quilt.…

Creativity is messy, and I am very creative… but that’s not an excuse for not being able to use any of the space in my house, for the piles of stuff collecting on all of the horizontal surfaces. Solution? Clean and organize. Matt has been very helpful with this process so far. We’ve still got…
